in this paper, the free vibration response of a laminated composite rectangularplate supporting a rotating circular patch mass is studied. the two variable refined platetheory that employs only two unknown functions as against three in the case of simpleshear deformation theory is applied to define the third order displacement field of acomposite rectangular plate. the plate is considered to ha...

An approximate formula is proposed for the equivalent susceptance of a circular iris in a parallel plate waveguide when the TEM mode cylindrical wave is incident from the center of the iris. Schwinger’s variational method for a linear iris is generalized to the cylindrical case, and an approximate closed form formula is obtained which recovers the result of the linear iris when the radius of th...

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of th...

An eigenfunction-matching method is developed for the problem of linear water-wave scattering by a circular floating porous elastic plate, and a coupled boundary-element and finiteelement method is developed for the problem in which the plate is of arbitrary shape. The methods are shown to produce the same solutions for a circular plate, and their convergence properties are established. The imp...

Considering the effect of geometric nonlinearity and uniformly distributed time-varying temperature, the bifurcation behaviors and chaotic phenomena of a bimetallic thin circular plate are investigated. First of all, the nonlinear dynamic equation for bimetallic plate is established and further reduced to Duffing equation of harmonic parametric excitation, from which the pitchfork bifurcation p...

In this study, the analysis of transverse vibrations of rectangular plate with circular central hole with different boundary conditions is studied and the natural frequencies and natural modes of a rectangular plate with circular hole have been obtained. To solve the problem, it is necessary to use both Cartesian and polar coordinate system. The complexity of the method is to apply an appropria...

In this study we report a new concept of printing low-cost two-dimensional micro-zone plates for chemical and biochemical assays and ELISA. It is different from the concept of forming multi-zone micro-zones on paper by hydrophobic barriers first reported by Yagoda. Instead, the desired multi-zone micro-zone pattern was first printed using a UV-curable varnish onto a polymer film; then fine powd...

in this research three-dimensional free vibration analysis of functionally graded circular plate with various boundary conditions is achieved. a semi-analytical method, which makes use of the state space method and the one-dimensional differential quadrature method, is used to obtain the vibration frequencies and dynamic responses of circular plates. numerical results are given to demonstrate t...
